I know your blog ...I liked 'Airport' too. <br /><br />I know your blog was essentially about a more serious matter, but:-<br />On my first and (so far) only visit to NY, back in '69, on getting to my distinctly sub--standard hotel (spiders in the bed, would you believe?) I needed cheering up and switched on the room's small b/w telly to see none other than David Frost, in his first American series, interviewing Helen Hayes about this film. He buttered her up by describing it as "A film you STOLE!" - which I thought, on returning home and seeing it at the cinema some months later, was rather OTT. But a good film all the same.
